The BBC will be broadcasting a documentary on the downing of MH17 that was blamed on pro-Russian Ukrainian opposition forces using a Russian made BUK missile. They will produce witnesses who claim they saw a Ukrainian fighter fire a missile and strike the passenger airliner, killing all 298 people aboard. The BBC offers several possibilities as to why the plane was attacked including one that the operation was a CIA approved terrorist action. More likely, it was a mistake or they shot the plane down to place the blame on Russian backed opposition forces.
After the plane was shot down, the area of the tragedy was sealed off for quite some time and many people were denied access to the area. That could support the idea that it was a Ukrainian missile. They may have wanted to clean up any evidence of an attack by the pro government forces. They may have even planted scraps from a BUK missile from another site.
This allegation was put forward by private investigator, Sergey Sokolov, who claimed that the CIA were helped by the Ukrainian secret service and Dutch security service, to place the bombs on the plane in Holland.
He said: ‘This terrorist act was a pretext for firstly intensifying sanctions on Russia, secondly to show the world that Russia is a barbarian country and thirdly to strengthen the presence of Nato in Europe, particularly Ukraine.’
